The best I can say was it felt muddled, over long and gave Wanda a real shitty send off. Far too focused on spectacle and not much in the way of story telling, or character development. It was bright and colorful but empty. Perhaps my tastes have altered after nearly 30 MCU films now that I have seen. They just aren’t geared to my age demographic, which is fine. That’s how I felt about the first two of the new Spider man movies too. No Way Home felt a little more mature in tone, and it spoke to me. But Dr Strange felt like a crazy, busy, meandering puzzle box that ended up being empty at the end anyway. Cameo heavy and ultimately unimportant. Phew.
It wasn’t all bad, I enjoyed parts of it. But I don’t feel as though there was any kind of suitable outcome. It could have all been a dream, and we’d still be where we left off after Spiderman NWH.
But now I’m up and awake after 11:00pm again, with another domestic duties Monday on the way, with 3.5 school days left for this term. Temperatures are rising, the rains didn’t show up, so we’ll have to start actively watering crops at the farm. I started off on rows of tomatoes today. Beets and potatoes and peppers to get watered next. My Saturday sunburn was not happy that I decided to spend any part of today outdoors. IV rash guards will have to get dug out of storage. Not a blunder I wish to repeat anytime soon.
